So I just converted a 1 Hour and 28 minute film with DPG4X and it successfully converted. I put the DPG file on my micro sd card and went onto my Flashcart and booted up Moonshell 2.10.

I played the DPG File and it worked great but for one, the Length of the film was wrong. For some reason the Length on moonshell was 2 hours and 40 minutes despite the actual video is half of that Length. I thought nothing of it but then I got to the end of the Film, Moonshell completely froze and I couldn't soft reset or anything. So I have no idea what could be causing this please help.

TL;DR: Successfully converted A video file to DPG and the Length of the video was wrong on moonshell aswell as the app crashing at the end of the video

Have you tried BatchDPG? I always used that and never had any issues.

I tried BatchDPG 1.60 Unofficial, but when I click run I get an Conversion failed open "video location" with media player and take note on the error thing. Am I missing something? Or should I use a different version?

I also tried 1.3 Beta but its doing the same thing. Why is this happening when I already have K-lite codec, ffdshow and avisynth?

  • haddad @ haddad:
    if I try to convert an already made .pbp to .cia, it crashes my 3ds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try a different one?
  • haddad @ haddad:
    What did work for me is taking the raw .bin files, convert it to .pbp, then take that .pbp and convert to .cia

    it worked, but my file is 30% larger, I want to utilize .chd to have a smaller file size
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I can't say where but there are a lot of FF7 pbps online lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's that one stations they don't want us to pay at
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah FF7 and a couple of others are sensitive to being compressed I think due to anti piracy measures
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some sort of like sector check in the code of the game or something
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol Ken or Vims layer or something
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I found out my own method which is

    1. download the indivudal .bin/.cue files
    2. use psx2psp to convert it into single .pbp
    3. then use ps1 forwader creator to convert to single .cia
    4. installed .cia file on 3ds and played that way

    wonderngi if there is an easier way to just convert all bin file to chd
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I used a different converter and did a batch job on like the entire PS1 North American library it took a while lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    After compression and deleting like all the junk games was like 350GBs or something
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I am trying it with FF7 now, it's 3 dics and I am seeing if it works
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I just merged all 3 dics into 1 pbp, then converted to .cia and now moving to my 3ds now
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Lol 3 dics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    That's one of the hardest ones to get working very finicky
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For some reason the other final Fantasy games on the PS1 are all way easier
  • haddad @ haddad:
    here is the weird thing, if I take the pre-downloaded .pbd from online and put on my PSP, it plays perfectly
  • haddad @ haddad:
    but pre-downloaded pbd to cia, wont work hahaha
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Like getting kh3 running on Linux can be a pain
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The 3DS emulator for PS1 is literally at the limits of what the New 3DS can even pull off
  • haddad @ haddad:
    I asked it here just in case anyone has any better way https://gbatemp.net/threads/converting-multi-disc-bin-cue-files-into-single-bin-or-chd.655108/
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Is 3ds your only real option for ps1 emulation
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I'm honestly surprised they managed it at all let alone that for some games it works perfectly
  • haddad @ haddad:
    No, I got a PSP Go that emulates PSP and PS1 perfectly, but
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Well he said he has a PSP also lol
